Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of food safety visual detection technology, and particularly relates to a sulfamethoxazole molecular imprinting ratio fluorescent paper-based sensor based on a rare earth complex fluorescent material and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the animal-derived food from demand-oriented to quality-oriented, the veterinary drug residue problem in animal-derived food has gradually become a global focus. Veterinary drug residue refers to the accumulation of original drugs, metabolites and impurities in the body of edible animals after the use of veterinary drugs or excretion through milk, eggs and other means. Veterinary drugs can be used in the prevention and treatment of animal diseases, and the improvement of livestock product quality. Improper use of drugs is the main reason for drug residues: (1) illegal use of prohibited drugs; (2) not following the drug-free period of veterinary drugs; (3) drug abuse, such as long-term (excessive) use of drugs and abuse of new or high-efficiency antibiotics; (4) use of drugs before slaughter. Due to the lack of scientific literacy of livestock breeders and the excessive pursuit of economic benefits, the irrational use of veterinary drugs is widespread in the current livestock industry. The phenomenon of drug abuse not only poses a direct threat to public health, but also greatly affects the sustainable development of the livestock industry and has serious adverse effects on the ecological environment.
[0003] Sulfonamides are widely used in the livestock industry. The antibacterial mechanism of sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) is to inhibit the synthesis of folic acid and interfere with the growth and reproduction of bacteria, leading to their death. This mechanism makes sulfamethoxazole play an important role in preventing and treating animal infectious diseases. Therefore, the food safety problem caused by its veterinary drug residue has attracted much attention. As a drug with significant antibacterial activity, sulfamethoxazole exhibits strong bactericidal efficacy against a variety of bacteria and performs well in preventing and treating animal bacterial infections. In addition, this drug also has the effect of reducing inflammation in the body, which is helpful for the repair and recovery process of the inflammation area, so it has been widely used in the pig industry. However, long-term intake of animal-derived food with excessive sulfonamide residues (cumulative amount) may affect the hematopoietic function, urinary system, and liver damage , induce allergic reactions, and even pose a potential risk of carcinogenesis. Improper use of sulfonamides has caused veterinary drug residue problems, which has become an important factor of environmental pollution and a threat to human health, and this problem needs to be effectively solved. At present, the methods for determining sulfamethoxazole mainly include mass spectrometry, high-performance liquid chromatography, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, solid-phase extraction-tandem mass spectrometry, enzyme-linked immunoassay, etc. Although these methods can accurately detect the concentration of sulfamethoxazole, they are expensive, have high detection costs, and are complex and time-consuming in pretreatment, making it difficult to analyze on site quickly. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a low-cost, rapid, visual and portable visual detection method.
[0004] Paper-based visual rapid detection technology plays an increasingly significant role in food safety supervision. Its technical core advantage is reflected in the rapid and simple on-site detection of public health and emergency incidents. Ratio fluorescent probe, as a cutting-edge detection method, can obtain key signal parameters by comparing and analyzing the intensity ratio of fluorescent signals at two different wavelengths. This technology is particularly suitable for paper-based visual rapid detection applications. Ratio fluorescent probe can effectively eliminate external interference factors (such as light source fluctuation and equipment sensitivity difference) through dual-wavelength signal ratio correction mechanism. Its detection sensitivity and accuracy are significantly better than traditional single-signal probes, and data repeatability is better. Due to the complexity and diversity of food samples, ratio fluorescent paper-based visual rapid detection often shows low sensitivity and accuracy. Literature shows that molecular imprinting technology has unique advantages in solving the problem of large sample interference. Therefore, based on the good selectivity of molecular imprinting technology and the rapid and simple advantages of ratio fluorescent paper-based visual detection technology, this patent carries out research on the combination of molecular imprinting technology and ratio fluorescent paper-based sensor in food safety visual supervision and detection technology. This has important significance for realizing the accurate and rapid detection of trace harmful substances in animal-derived food samples.
[0005] This patent prepares two kinds of binuclear complex fluorescent materials BCP-Eu and BCP-Tb. Carboxylated solvent is used to modify the paper base, so that the paper base is rich in -COOH. The -COOH contained in the paper base can interact with the -NH2 in the template molecule SMZ through hydrogen bond. At the same time, based on the weakening effect of sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) on the green fluorescence emitted by BCP-Tb (“off”), and the enhancing effect of sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) on the red light emitted by BCP-Eu (“on”), a “dual-response-on-off” sulfamethoxazole molecular imprinting ratio fluorescent paper-based sensor (MIPs-SMZ@BCP-Tb / BCP-Eu@-COOH paper) is prepared in situ, which is used for detecting the residual concentration of SMZ in animal-derived food. SUMMARY
[0006] OBJECTIVE
[0007] Practice shows that there are still some problems to be solved in the molecular imprinting ratio fluorescent paper-based sensor in animal-derived food: (1) The detection effect of the ratio fluorescent probe depends on the selection of two kinds of fluorescent materials. Rare earth complexes are an important class of fluorescent materials, but as ratio fluorescent probe materials, there are still few molecular imprinting ratio fluorescent paper-based sensors prepared; (2) There are many types of paper-based materials, but there is a lack of paper-based materials suitable for the generation of molecular imprinting polymers; (3) How to combine the molecular imprinting polymer with the ratio fluorescent probe on the paper-based material to construct the molecular imprinting ratio fluorescent paper-based sensor, which is related to the popularization and application of the sensor in visual detection. The purpose of the patent application is to solve the above problems of the molecular imprinting ratio fluorescent paper-based sensor by the following methods: (1) Based on the fact that some rare earth complexes can emit fluorescence in the visible light range, which is an ideal visual fluorescent material, a series of pyridine carboxylic acid rare earth complexes are designed and prepared, and new rare earth complexes are obtained as ratio fluorescent probe materials, which lay a good foundation for the preparation of molecular imprinting ratio fluorescent paper-based sensors; (2) The paper-based material is modified to become an ideal carrier for the generation of molecular imprinting ratio fluorescent polymers; (3) Through the "one-step solution method", the molecular imprinting polymer and the ratio fluorescent probe are formed on the functionalized paper-based material at the same time, and a new method for detecting sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) residues in animal-derived food by a molecular imprinting ratio fluorescent paper-based sensor with double signal self-correction function is established. Combined with a smart phone, the on-site visual rapid quantitative detection of food safety is realized.
[0008] In order to achieve the above purpose, the application provides the following technical scheme:
[0009] A preparation method and analysis application of a sulfamethoxazole molecular imprinting ratio fluorescent paper-based sensor based on rare earth complex fluorescent materials, comprising the following steps:
[0010] (1) Preparation of carboxylated cellulose paper-based material: cut the 102 medium speed qualitative filter paper cellulose paper into 14 mm cellulose paper discs, put them into a culture dish, acidify with 20 mL of 0.2 M hydrochloric acid, avoid light and oscillate for 20 min, wash the cellulose paper discs with deionized water until the washing liquid is neutral, add 20 mL of 0.1 M ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) solution, avoid light and oscillate for 2.5 h, wash the cellulose paper discs with deionized water for 3-5 times, and put them into a 40℃ vacuum drying oven for drying to obtain a carboxylated cellulose paper-based material, which is marked as -COOH paper and ready for use;
[0011] (2) Preparation of the binuclear europium complex fluorescent material: 0.0493 g of [2,2'-bipyridine]-6,6'-dicarboxylic acid H2L and 0.0981 g of Eu(NO3)3·6H2O were weighed and dissolved in 6 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and 4 mL of H2O, and the uniform mixture was moved into a 25 mL reaction kettle lined with polytetrafluoroethylene after magnetic stirring until the solution was clear. The reaction was heated at 90°C in an oven for 72 h, and after the reaction was completed, the temperature was reduced to 50°C at a speed of 10°C / h, and maintained for 6 h. The gray powdery block crystals were obtained by filtration, washed with DMF, and dried at 60°C under vacuum for 12 h. Thus, the binuclear europium complex fluorescent material was obtained, which was recorded as BCP-Eu;
[0012] (3) Preparation of the binuclear terbium complex fluorescent material: 0.0336 g of [2,2'-bipyridine]-6,6'-dicarboxylic acid H2L and 0.0680 g of Tb(NO3)3·6H2O were weighed and dissolved in 6 mL of DMF and 4 mL of H2O, and the uniform mixture was moved into a 25 mL reaction kettle lined with polytetrafluoroethylene after magnetic stirring until the solution was clear. The reaction was heated at 90°C in an oven for 72 h, and after the reaction was completed, the temperature was reduced to 50°C at a speed of 10°C / h, and maintained for 6 h. The orange block crystals were obtained by filtration after standing until the crystals precipitated, washed with DMF, and dried at 60°C under vacuum for 12 h. Thus, the binuclear terbium complex fluorescent material was obtained, which was recorded as BCP-Tb.
[0013] (4) Development of a sulfamethoxazole molecularly imprinted ratio fluorescent paper-based sensor: 0.0100 g of the template molecule sulfamethoxazole (SMZ), 0.0050 g of the fluorescent material BCP-Eu obtained in step (2), 0.0100 g of the fluorescent material BCP-Tb obtained in step (3), 50.0 mg of a functional monomer and a crosslinking agent γ-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) were accurately weighed, 20 mL of anhydrous ethanol was measured in a conical flask, and after oscillation for 40 min, 0.5 mL of ammonia water was added and oscillation was continued for 20 min. The mixture was poured into a culture dish lined with the carboxylated cellulose paper obtained in step (1), and polymerization was carried out at 40°C in the dark for 9 h to allow sufficient reaction. After the reaction was completed, further elution was carried out with an eluent prepared from anhydrous methanol and acetic acid at a ratio of 9:1 until the eluent was free of SMZ. Vacuum drying (40°C) was carried out for 24 h, and thus the sulfamethoxazole molecularly imprinted ratio fluorescent paper-based sensor was obtained, which was recorded as MIPs-SMZ@BCP-Tb / BCP-Eu@-COOH paper.
[0014] (5) Preparation of a working curve
[0015] The fluorescence color was observed with a fixed excitation wavelength of 365 nm in a dark box ultraviolet analyzer, a smartphone (Xiaomi 10S) was used to take the fluorescence color of the paper-based sensor, and a color recognition APP was used to read the RGB value. A standard working curve was established with the logarithm (lgC SMZ ) of the SMZ concentration as the horizontal coordinate and the G' value as the vertical coordinate. The linear equation and correlation coefficient were obtained, and the LOD was calculated.
[0016] (6) Actual sample analysis
[0017] Preparation of pretreated sample solution: 8.0 g of chopped commercially available pork was accurately weighed and mixed with 20 mL of 0.1 M PBS solution. A magnetic stirrer was used to mix the meat sample and PBS solution thoroughly, and the mixture was then subjected to ultrasonic treatment for 45 min to ensure that the sample was completely dispersed in the solvent, which helped to effectively extract the target analyte from the pork matrix, thereby improving the quality and accuracy of the analysis. Then, the mixture was centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 15 min, and the clear solution containing the extracted analyte was collected, which was the pretreated sample solution.
[0018] Standard addition recovery experiment on the pretreated sample solution: sulfamethoxazole SMZ was added to the pretreated sample solution at concentrations of 0.1, 1.0, 3.0, 10.0 and 15.0 μM, respectively, and then the sulfamethoxazole molecularly imprinted ratio fluorescent paper-based sensor combined with a smartphone was used to visually determine and analyze the concentration of SMZ in the pork sample.
[0019] The biggest advantage and effect of the present invention mainly lies in:
[0020] (1) A series of rare earth complexes of [2,2'-bipyridine]-6,6'-dicarboxylic acid ligand were designed and prepared, and new rare earth complexes were obtained as ratio fluorescent probe materials;
[0021] (2) The paper-based material was carboxylated and modified to become an ideal carrier for the generation of molecularly imprinted ratio fluorescent polymers;
[0022] (3) Using the dual role of APTES "functional monomer + crosslinking agent", through the amino group (-NH2) at the end of the APTES molecule, on the one hand, it forms a specific complex with the template molecule SMZ, providing a basis for the formation of "imprinted" sites later, on the other hand, it can form a chemical bond with the carboxyl-containing paper base, anchoring the specific complex formed with the template molecule SMZ on the surface of the paper base; through the hydrolysis reaction of the triethoxysilane group (-Si(OEt)3) of APTES, silicon hydroxyl (-SiOH) is generated, based on which, on the one hand, the condensation reaction between different APTES can be carried out, constructing a crosslinked network structure, on the other hand, the silicon hydroxyl on APTES can condense with the hydroxyl of the cellulose in the paper base, further enhancing the binding force between APTES and the paper base;
[0023] (4) A preparation method of a BCP-Tb / BCP-Eu "dual response-switching" sulfonamidomethoxazole molecularly imprinted ratio fluorescent paper-based sensor based on pyridine carboxylic acid rare earth complex fluorescent materials is proposed, and when combined with a smart phone, visual rapid detection of sulfonamidomethoxazole residues in food is realized, which provides a possibility for visual rapid quantitative detection of food safety on site.

[0047] Table 1 Visual detection of SMZ in animal-derived food using a ratio fluorescent paper-based sensor (n = 3)
[0048]
[0049] As shown in Table 1, the recovery rate of the MIPs-SMZ@BCP-Tb / BCP-Eu@-COOH paper ratio fluorescent paper-based sensor for detecting the concentration of SMZ in the pork pretreated sample solution was between 94.30 and 101.06%, with an RSD of less than 3.02%.

[0050] Appendix Figure 1UV-Vis, Ex and Em spectra of BCP-Eu (a); UV-Vis, Ex and Em spectra of BCP-Tb (b); emission spectrum of BCP-Eu with excitation wavelength of 325~335 nm (c); emission spectrum of BCP-Tb with excitation wavelength of 325~335 nm (d). From the UV-Vis spectra of (a) and (b), the absorption peaks of BCP-Eu and BCP-Tb at 278 nm and 266 nm correspond to the unsaturated bond π→π* transition, which belongs to the B absorption band. While the absorption peaks at 320 nm and 303 nm belong to the R absorption band of the band lone pair electron chromophoric group (C=O) n→π* transition. In addition, in order to ensure that the fluorescence intensity of BCP-Eu and BCP-Tb reaches the strongest at the same time, the excitation wavelength in the range of 325~335 nm is explored. When the excitation wavelength is 328 nm, the emission spectrum of BCP-Eu and BCP-Tb has the strongest fluorescence intensity (in the figures (c) and (d)), and 328 nm is selected as the excitation wavelength for subsequent fluorescence analysis.
[0051] Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 2 XRD patterns of paper, -COOH paper and MIPs-SMZ@BCP-Tb / BCP-Eu@-COOH paper. From the XRD pattern, it can be clearly seen that the XRD of the carboxylated paper-based material (-COOH paper) has a displacement compared with the original paper-based material (paper), which proves the success of the carboxylation of the paper-based material. However, compared with the characteristic peak of the -COOH paper, the characteristic diffraction peak of the MIPs-SMZ@BCP-Tb / BCP-Eu@-COOH paper-based sensor does not change in position, only the peak intensity is weakened. The unchanged characteristic diffraction peak position indicates that there is still -COOH on the paper-based material after polymerization, and the weakened diffraction peak intensity indicates that part of the -COOH on the paper-based material forms a hydrogen bond with the -NH2 in the template molecule SMZ, and participates in the imprinting polymerization reaction under the action of the crosslinking agent APTES, which also indirectly proves the successful preparation of the MIPs-SMZ@BCP-Tb / BCP-Eu@-COOH paper-based sensor.

The Si2p doublet of the MIPs-SMZ@BCP-Tb / BCP-Eu@-COOH paper ratio fluorescent paper substrate sensor has a binding energy of 103.18 eV and 102.08 eV, which is attributed to Si2p1and Si2p3(attachment Figure 6 (e)). In the attached Figure 6(f) In (f), the high-resolution Tb3d spectrum of the paper-based sensor shows peaks at 1276.61 eV, 1241.61 eV and 1225.26 eV, which are attributed to Tb3d3, Tb3d5, shake-down satellite peaks, respectively. While the Figure 6 (g) In (g), the Eu3d spectrum shows peaks at 1135.09 eV, 1165.09 eV and 1123.70 eV, which are attributed to Eu3d3, Eu3d5, shake-down satellite peaks, respectively.
